Mechanism of Action
The compounds found in ginkgo may have a protective
role in different stages of the decline of intellectual function via several mechanisms of action: vasoregulating activity of arteries, capillaries, and veins (increased blood flow); platelet activating factor (PAF) antagonism; homeostasis of inflammation and oxidative stress; and prevention of cell membrane damage causedby free radicals; and neurotransmission modulation.
The most important substances are flavonoids (ginkgo flavone glycosides) and terpenoids (ginkgolides and
bilobalide).The compounds inginkgo act to varying degrees as scavengers for free radicals.
